I have no idea. B&N has no reason that I can see to do this. Perhaps the majority of people who will buy this device might not care. But most folks here would like to be able to use the full amount of storage for Nook books and sideloaded books.

It's not a deal-breaker for me, but it's one more way that B&N shoots itself in the foot and gives some potential customers one more reason to look elsewhere. Not the most brilliant marketing strategy.

That said, I like this device as an eBook reader so far. It could have been that much better, if B&N just got out of the way and chose not to shoot itself in the foot! Too much to ask?
